Presidents and Rockets

Our letter of the week this week was U. We had a fun hunt around our class for the letter U and hung all of the ones we found from our umbrella!


Since we didn't have school on Monday because of President's Day, we took some time on Wednesday to talk about why we celebrate President's Day. We learned about what a President is and a little about Washington and Lincoln. 

The kids always think it's so funny that Washington wore a wig, so they had lots of fun making his wig extra poofy! They also got to make their own Lincoln masks. (No, I have no idea why this picture insists on uploading sideways.)


On Friday we went back into outer space in a rocket! We watched a video of a rocket launch that this kids absolutely loved. We also pretended to be rockets and took the opportunity to work on counting backwards from ten. I love learning that feels like fun! We slipped in a little more learning by making rockets out of our names. The kids had to unscramble the letters of their name and glue it on the page in the right order. They were awesome at it!
